Sliding head turning is a technique developed in Switzerland for precision mechanics in order to produce products with the smallest diameters as accurately as possible. With this technique, it is not the chisel, but the material itself that moves through the spindle. The advantage of this method is that the chisel always cuts as close to the spindle as possible. As a result, the material bends the least under the chisel pressure. At Exakt Fijnmechanika we use the long lathes from TORNOS and DMG MORI. These machines are characterized by their extremely high accuracy and service life. The longer they run in succession, the flatter the tolerances.
